Discourses on Sex Trafficking in Young Women in Modern Jewish Societies: Migration and Deviance from the Perspective of Gender, Religion and Social Class

该项目调查了欧洲各地犹太社会关于年轻女性性交易的讨论，这一问题出现在20世纪之交，是为了回应公众对卖淫的反犹指控的增加。在美因河畔法兰克福的个案研究框架内，采用以社会史和知识史为基础的方法，本项目分析了1880年至1933年期间，即东欧反犹太大屠杀的第一个高峰和纳粹迫害犹太人的开始时期，西欧工业化的中欧及其彻底适应的、以改革犹太教和现代正统为特征的资产阶级犹太社区中关于贩卖女性的话语。该项目的目标是以美因河畔法兰克福的主要行为者为榜样，恢复和恢复德国犹太社会改革者对国际反性贩运和卖淫斗争的贡献。该项目分析了她们参与保护处于危险中的妇女的国际组织和公约的情况、她们对防止贩运女童的程度、原因和措施的了解。他们在法兰克福和东欧对犹太女孩和妇女的社会承诺以及社会活动家为保护妇女和女孩以及相关的社会工作专业化而建立的机构也被考虑在内。除此之外，该项目还将阐明使这些人--尽管他们处于社会边缘地位的妇女和犹太人--能够参与讨论的资源，并追踪他们的参与对扩大他们自己的社会行动领域的影响。此外，该项目还分析了这些地方妇女支助服务的用户的来源和社会状况，从而将焦点集中在一群行为者身上，这一群体在迄今为止的性贩运研究中几乎被完全忽视。该项目旨在使关于贩卖女性性问题的话语中的性别、宗教、民族血统和社会阶层的复杂纠葛一目了然。这种话语与妇女运动和社会工作起源的联系被置于现代犹太历史的中心解放话语的背景下，因为它们既关系到犹太妇女在犹太和资产阶级社会中的地位，也关系到犹太人在欧洲民族国家的普遍融合。因此，该项目对西欧和东欧的现代犹太历史、妇女运动和社会工作的历史以及今天继续讨论人口贩运问题作出了重大贡献。

The project investigates the discourse among Jewish societies across Europe on the sex trafficking of young women, which emerged around the turn of the 20th century in response to the rise in antisemitic allegations in public discussions of prostitution. Within the framework of a case study on Frankfurt am Main and using an approach grounded in social history and the history of knowledge, the project analyzes the discourse on female sex trafficking in industrialized West Central Europe with its thoroughly acculturated, bourgeois Jewish community characterized by Reform Judaism and modern orthodoxy between 1880 and 1933, i.e. the first peak of anti-Jewish pogroms in Eastern Europe and the beginning of the Nazi persecution of Jews. The goal of the project is to rehabilitate and reclaim, on the example of key actors in Frankfurt am Main, the contribution of German Jewish social reformers to the international struggle against sex trafficking and prostitution. The project analyzes their participation in international organizations and conventions for the protection of women at risk, their knowledge of the extent, causes and measures to prevent trafficking in girls. Their social commitment to Jewish girls and women in both Frankfurt and Eastern Europe is considered, as are the institutions founded by the social activists for the protection of women and girls and the associated professionalization of social work. Along with this, the project will both elucidate the resources that enabled these individuals, despite their socially marginalized position as women and as Jews, to participate in the discourse, and trace the repercussions of their participation on the expansion of their own areas of social action. Moreover, the project analyses the origin and social situation of the users of these local support services for women, thus turning the spotlight onto a group of actors, which has been almost completely neglected in research on sex trafficking to date. The project aims at making visible the complex entanglements of gender, religion, national origin and social class in the discourse on female sex trafficking. The connection of this discourse with women’s movements and the origin of social work is placed within the context of the central emancipatory discourses of modern Jewish history as they relate both to the position of the Jewish woman in Jewish and bourgeois society and to the general integration of Jews in European nation-states. The project thus makes a significant contribution to modern Jewish history in Western and Eastern Europe, to the history of the women’s movement and of social work, and to the continuing discussions of human trafficking today.
